Solo mining with Terraminer - low hashrate

[normunds0ch]

I'm trying to use my 1.6TH Terraminer to solo mine altcoins. It kind of works, but the hashrate is about 900G-1T. If I mine the same coin in the pool, the rate is normal (1.5-1.6TH/s)

The coin daemon is running on another machine (VM) in the local network. The network does not seem to be busy.

Any ideas what might be the bottleneck? Anything I could tweak on cgminer side or in daemon configuration?

I have the same problem, and its getting worse each day.

[normunds0ch]

Moving the coin daemon to other machine and/or running several in "balance" mode seems to improve the speed, although it still does not come close to BTC mining rates.

I assume at these speeds there is lots of talking between miner and coin daemon going on and even slight delays in http responses from daemon accumulates and results in lost hashing power.

setup your own pool n mine on that ?

You could try:

or a public p2pool to make sure your compatible with p2pool before trying the above.

Thanks guys, server might be the answer, though I did not want to go there. But it looks like cgminer bombs the daemon with getwork requests that probably is not the most efficient way of handling this.

Does anyone reach the promised 2th/s

I think they promised and promised and then backtracked, so only May batch should have full 2TH/s. 1.6-1.7TH/s is most you could expect today.

[normunds0ch]

well, I installed the p2pool server, but the hash-rate still varies and is mostly low (under 1T or so). The server does not look overworked. Got a lot of dead on arrival shares, but seems it adapted difficulty and it worked pretty clean since. Except for the hashrates :-/

I guess I get back to mining BTC and think about this...

Edited, what else - the hashrate reporting is quite surprising:
Terraminer web console reports about 1TH/s, cgminer (avg) 1.2-1.3Th/s and p2pool 1.5TH/s
at least the two first should agree (?), but still the difference is quite large.

You can tweak p2pool by adding:

Code:

+"Number"

to your username address.
I've tried upto 1000 it seems to cut down on dead shares.
Do you have an image of your current stats?

[normunds0ch]

Thanks, after the first shock the difficulty has been adapted automatically and there are practically no new dead shares. So that part is fine.

Here are 3 images - first from cgminer console, second from p2pool console and third of cointerra web console. The first two seem to be more in agreement now - I guess they all have different time window, so in average they must agree (though web console shows consistently the lowest value). However the numbers are not encouraging.

Hello.
Can anyone share the details of the settings under the miner solo mode.
